and they directly state or imply that this happened in Oklahoma,

For example:

(PICTURED ABOVE: one of 2,547 earthquakes caused by Fracking in Oklahoma since 2009)

The photo wasn't licensed since a properly licensed photo has copyright data embedded, whereas such data is stripped out of this photo. The original source for the photo appear to be this site, documenting damage caused by an earthquake in Japan on October 23, 2004. The road was damage by a landslide.

No one was talking about fracking in Oklahoma in 2004. Again, it is improper to use a photo in a news story without attribution and in a manner that is deceptive or misleading.
